ABSTRACT:
A reclosable chewing gum packet, and a blank for making that packet. The packet includes a multitude of side panels and a tear strip attached to and transversely extending across each of those side panels. The tear strip is cut through, adjacent a first end thereof, to separate the tear strip into first and second sections. The first section of the tear strip is torn away from the packet to form a lateral tear line, separating the packet into a cover and a body. When this is done, the transverse cut through the tear strip prevents the first section of the tear strip from tearing the second section of the tear strip away from the packet. That second section of the tear strip remains attached to the packet and forms a flexible hinge connecting the cover of the packet to the body thereof.
